My hunch is that he didn't like the courts getting involved at all. On that, I agree with him whole heartedly. He probably had a problem with the 5-4 part.

The Supremes had no choice but to take the case, and a 7-2 majority agreed. Their alternative was to let a rogue FL Supreme Court trampel all over the rights of the Floridians and their legislature.

Find it hard to believe this blogger knows when Renqhuist will step down and the name of the replacement, and the decision on Chief Justice. For one thing I don't think Bush was ever considering making Clarence Thomas Chief Justice, and I'm not sure they would shy away from Scalia as "divisive."

Not necessarily. The state legislature could have pledged the electors to Bush. Inserting any court, including the Florida Supremes, into an election is just asking for trouble.
